commit connected films list movies private proud rarely second third three
There are three movies that I am exceptionally proud of in my life, ... and I rarely commit to a list of films that I like, that I've made -- but these are the three films that I was passionately connected to -- the first was 'ET,' the second 'Schindler's List,' and third is 'Saving Private Ryan.'
children collection delivering expecting films middle movies parents people point points prism represent seeing shared sitting table talking taught teachers telling ten
I don't think this collection of films represent everything. We're not delivering a shared point of view. These movies are all so different from each other. We all look at a movie through a prism of everything our parents and teachers taught us and what our children are telling us. You can't make a movie expecting everyone will have the same reaction. Ten people seeing 'Munich' will come out with 10 different points of view. It was always that way, sitting around the Passover table talking about the Middle East.
movie actors proud
Whether in success or in failure, I'm proud of every single movie I've ever directed.
movie smile laughing
I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.
movie dad years
I get that same queasy, nervous, thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That's never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad's 8-millimeter movie camera.
funny movie inspiring
Why pay a dollar for a bookmark? Why not use the dollar for a bookmark?
movie inspiring positivity
People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don't have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.
movie magic matter
Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.

answers audience burden complex easy either figure land last left love people pundits puts refuses somewhere targeted themselves
It would make people more comfortable if I made a film that said all targeted assassination is bad, or good, but the movie doesn't take either of those positions. It refuses to. Many of those pundits on the Left and Right would love the film to land somewhere definite. It puts a real burden on the audience to figure out for themselves how they feel about these issues. There are no easy answers to the most complex story of the last 50 years.
trying
'E.T.' began with me trying to write a story about my parents' divorce.
directly open opportunity reach wider
This opportunity ... allows all of us to reach out directly to open a much wider door.
although demonize happened
We don't demonize our targets. They're individuals. They have families. Although what happened in Munich, I condemn.

I expected to see a party animal who was going to reap harvest with all the girls on the set. I found the opposite. Leo is a homebody.
